The proposed ‘six canals project’ on the Indus River was not very popular to begin with and is now in danger of becoming totally unfeasible given the Indian government’s abeyance of the Indus Waters Treaty. Whether it is domestic or international disputes, water always seems to be a problem in the country. There is just never enough of it.
Pakistan needs to negotiate with India over the suspension of the treaty and, if needed, must involve international organisations. This canals project also needs a full-fledged revaluation, with the aim of building more political consensus around the project. Resolving both of these problems is crucial to alleviating the nation’s perpetual water crisis.
